Hey guys, guys! Remember when Toast said right after the new year that certain evocati would begin testing 3.0 very, very soon ?

Good times.

That reminds me of when I pointed out that Ben said any ships after the Valiant or whatever weren't actually going to be worked on or put into the game at release since they had to pick a point to stop so they could get something out so all the new concepts are months or years after whenever this releases, because he literally said that.

MoMA, the guy who is out $8,000 into the game, apparently didn't know that, argued with me and smugly declared that due to "optimized pipelines" he would be in the current concept ship he had bought a bunch of by the end of 2016, which never happened.

Can someone find that quote from Ben, It was on the RSI forums I think or maybe a ATV. We posted about it in the last thread but It's incredibly important information that becomes more and more important as we are now like 8 months/6+ concepts later than the last time a backer tried to deny the fact and are probably at 2+ years for whatever the next concept is sold to be available after release.

With 2.6 and 2.6.1 Star Marine has started to introduce destructible props in the game. Shattering glass, explosive barrels and etc. The most recent monthly report mentioned that the team was looking to add more props and items that can be destroyed in the game. Presumably this work will carry into the Persistent Universe. Have you put any thought into how destroyed props will be restored in the Persistent Universe? Example being, if a player could shatter the glass windows in Port Olisar, how would the game "reset" to a point where the windows are replaced.
Hmm interesting question. Obviously the most difficult and impractical way to solve this would be to have some subsumption AI logic that figures out when props get damaged or destroyed, then send an NPC out with a replacement. The animation for mopping up the mess would be simple enough, but would also require complex animations to replace every type of prop like panes of glass. That kind of system would be nearly impossible, but it also would add a lot of fidelity and immersion, so we're gonna go with that.

Will there be autopiliot for example in my freelancer traveling from point a to z, can I set autopilot and get up and move around?
Ummmm ... uhhh.... yes ummm...it wont be as simple as in elite......uhhh...it will contain...uhhh.....fidelity

Will we need to qualify for a job, earn a certain amount of rep, or will it be as easy as having the right ship?
short answer yes long answer it depends on uhhhhh....ummm....gear......uhhh.....ummm...having the right ship for ..... uhhh....ummm....fidelity

With the recent progress update on the Prospector, is it safe to assume that we will have ship based mining to some degree with the launch of 3.0?
ah... yes...maybe....uhh....umm....mining.....immersive...uhhhh....ummm....buy ships now. Continues effort to fund holida...uhhh...ummm.development process of star citizen.

can you give us information about the “minigames“ of mining. You said Mining will not be a point and click profession. What will be needed to be a decent miner?
ah yes. we had to upgrade the design document lately ....uhhh...ummm... its now this fantastic mechanic...uhh...ummm where uhhhhh...ummm you have this meter and uhh.....ummmm and......uhhh.... its this kind of immersion swing mechanic.

Will we get to mine liquids and gas with the Starfarer in patch 3.0?
uhhh....ummm.....not initially......uhhh...ummm but it is cool idea and we will look upon it on future...uhhh...ummm maybe 3.2

Regarding cargo hauling, can you clarify how the loading and unload of ships will work(?)
uhhh....ummmm..uhhhh..ummm...buzz.....immersion.....uhhh...ummm...subversion......uhh...ummm.....fidelity.....uhhhh.....ummm...real.....uhhh....gameplay first.....uhhh....ummmm....uhhhh..ummmm...uhhhh and thats about it.

Are there any plans on cargo loading of the bigger ships such as the Hull series of ships and is the loading at a space station, or even planetary, going to be automatic or will we have a specialized small cargo loading ships similar to the Argo to load manually if we choose to.
uhhh..uummm....yes...uhhhh....ummm....but not in first release.....uhhhhh....ummm....framework......uhhh...ummm...refactor.....uhhh.....ummmm

Will Items and Cargo on Planets be in a visible Storehouse or will they "dissapear" somewere?

In both cargo running and mining, what types of hazards can we expect? Understandably, there will be the threat of pirates, but what other dangers will we run into, i.e., hitting a combustible methane vent while mining, or the consequences of a container malfunction during transport?

Did you keep a copy of everything on your billing page, hangar + hangar log?

They normally lock you out of your account with no warning if they are thinking of refunding you. If you want to dispute the amount it's more difficult without all your account information.

Yes, it's normal.

If you have access to your account, screenshot any info pertaining to the transactions of your pledgesorders. If they haven't already, they will ask you questions regarding dates and amounts to "verify" that you're actually you that is requesting the refund, as opposed to someone who hacked your account to request a refund. Because, lol, that has actually happened.
